A
simple act of kindness teamed up some police officers and a young teen in Cedar
Hill.
This
month, La'Ron Harper brought decorations, including balloons, to celebrate her
nephew's 14th birthday.
But
when she was driving on her way, the decorations and balloons were flaying here
and there, and it was then police officers stepped in to help her.
Harper
said, "I thought, 'Well, we're close enough to the house. It will be
fine.' Well, it turns out we were not close enough to the house, and we started
losing decorations along the way."
Then
suddenly, police officers decided to tag along to wish Kennedy Cumbo a happy
birthday.
Cumbo
walked out of the front door to see his aunt, with several officers to wish him
on his birthday.
Cedar
Hill PD Lt. Paul Sandefur said, "I don't know if he knew she was coming or
not because he seemed surprised when he came out the front door with three
squad cars blaring their horns and yelling over their speaker's happy
birthday."
Cumbo
said he was kind of shocked and had no idea of what was going on.
This
gave that group a chance to reunite on Saturday.
Cumbo's
aunt said it very important for us to showcase that in these strange times
also, not all police officers are bad, and not all African American young men
are bad.
